Fucellia female.....terrible
If i follow Ackland, this should be F.maritima (small hairs between the two rows of acrostichals.
But with the species i collected the small hairs between the acrostichals are also present in other species, so we can not rely on that description for 100%.
I looked in Hennig for further information, but without further succes for now.

And I thought Michael was the next thing to god (Or at least the Bishop of Dorset) in Antho Circles :|
